BACKGROUND NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar) is a network of 160 high-resolution Doppler weather radars operated by the National Weather Service (NWS), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Such alternative power is provided for FAA units by Rotary - Uninterruptable Power Sources (Rotary - UPS). The Roesel Motor Generator (RMG) manufactured by Precise Power Corporation is installed in five (5) sites in rugged, remote locations, in Alaska and Hawaii, with difficult power supply conditions. The RMG units at these sites require a Technical Refresh (TR) to enhance the NEXRAD system availability.
